Let’s talk Red Sox!
“So, while fans will understandably lament losing a productive All-Star bat like Bregman, the terms he accepted from Chicago may ultimately validate Boston's caution.”

Will Bregman age like Xander or Rendon? Time will tell.

#redsox offered 5 yrs guaranteed at $165M. Bregman says “Thanks for your $40M for 1 year, but I’m outta here” for $2M more per year (and who knows what deferrals were involved). I wonder if Boras allowed the Sox to match.

5 yrs $175M. Good for Bregman. Breslow and the #redsox brass so sincerely screwed up the Devers’ situation. It’s beyond an embarrassment. I suppose they could now overpay for Bichette? Nah…

How does this impact the #redsox? If Yankees are holding steady at 5 yrs/$30M per for Bellinger, then we can assume Sox are in that area with Bregman (which matches reports). Both holding out for 1 more year under Boras’ thumb?

Say what you will about Casas, he has always been brutally honest, and I respect that. He’s still only 25, and I hope he comes back strong and has a long, successful career with the #redsox.

There is no 2004 miracle, no 4 World Series, and Dave Robert doesn’t mean anything without this man. Why he isn’t heralded as a #redsox legend like Roberts still baffles me.
On this date in 2003 the Red Sox signed Free Agent Bill Mueller to a 2 yr $4.5 Million contract, with a team option for a 3rd yr. Mueller was one of the best FA signings in Sox history, in 3 yrs he hit .303, with 41 HR’s, a .853 OPS and a 10.1 WAR and provided many big moments.

So is this one less player in the Bregman market for the #redsox, or are the Dbacks going to double down and go after Bregman harder?
The Diamondbacks are pulling superstar 2B Ketel Marte off the trade block. He’s staying in Arizona.
January 9, 2026 at 4:56 PM
Oh, yeah, the #redsox still have Tanner Houck! Yet another 3/4 starter, maybe #2 if things align. We’ll have a great 9 man rotation! If they only could settle their infield situation.

The Cubs just traded their #1 prospect (and #11) for Edwin Cabrera. How would #redsox nation feel if they dealt Tolle or Early PLUS others for him? Did the Cubs overpay? If not, what would the equivalent trade be? Kristian Campbell+ (or his contract is too high)? Abreu+?

So it’s down to the #redsox, Cubs and DBacks for Bregman? Or, by earlier reports, might the Jays play Okamoto in the outfield and still pursue Bregman at 3B?

There is a report from Marino Pepén the #redsox have offered Bregman $160M over 5 years.

Maybe this is Boras throwing something out there, but it makes sense for the Sox to offer about $30M/yr. Will someone swoop in with a silly Xander-like deal for him?

PS. Devers was $29M/yr
January 2, 2026 at 9:07 PM
Nice chart by Gordoncomstock1 on the Section10 Reddit feed. Missed a few players, but you get the idea. This is what Henry is looking at. Small/Mid market teams don’t take these risks - Big Market teams do. This makes it crystal clear how Henry has changed.
January 1, 2026 at 10:49 PM
I did some deep research to find a new #redsox 3B, with a good, controllable contract that doesn’t run until he is 38.

I found a $29M/yr guy, currently 29 and contract ends at 36 yrs, has averaged over 30 HR and 100 RBI/season. Walks a lot. And is a Yankee killer!

Let’s go get Raffy Devers!
January 1, 2026 at 9:40 PM
Why would the #redsox trade top prospects for any of these players when they can just pay Bregman or Bichette?

I know the answer: cap money. Marte is $20M/yr through age 36, Paredes 2 arb years through age 28 ($15M - &20M).

Is that worth the prospects? Pony up, Henry!

No #redsox news happening (except silly rumors), so I want to congratulate the Patriots on reclaiming their rightful place as AFC East champs!

I hope Campbell is a HUGE part of the #redsox future, but I don’t see how both he and Casas start the year at the MLB level - unless there is a massive trade of outfielders. Get them playing everyday in Worcester to regain their groove.

We’re at the point where there is only 1 more big move (maybe) left for the #redsox, and will it be 3B or P?

It has to be 3B, right? Don’t see it being 2B, and if they don’t extend for Bregman, it could be Suarez on a 1 yr deal.

Too bad Henry is acting like a mid-tier franchise.
December 23, 2025 at 9:40 PM
Say good-bye to Hunter Dobbjns, and eventually Casas now. We knew some pitcher(s) would be dealt with Breslow dealing for 4 and 5 starting pitchers, and Dobbjns seemed to really love being a Sox, so he’ll be missed. Now sign Bregman.

Bregman to the Jays makes a lot of sense since the Toronto owner wants to win, and doing so with a big “FU!” to Henry is icing on the cake.
Rosenthal: Blue Jays have been in recent contact with Alex Bregman.

Bregman is also drawing interest from the Red Sox, Cubs, and Diamondbacks, among others.
December 21, 2025 at 2:06 AM
Every #redsox fan knew this the second the trade was announced. Let’s hope this is the worst trade Breslow ever makes.
